Grats to u/ur wife on pulling thru. Not sure how much you have done to the block yet, but if you can, try to dump the b16 block and pick up a 1.8 block and use a gsr/itr or LS crank…esp if u are using a 35R, its going to lag big time…especially if you are using GSR cams…you want to use at least ITR/CTR spec cams or bigger to help the motor breathe. The rest looks fine. I just don’t wanna see u “Waste” money on a forged 1.6 block when u can easily go 1.8+, the diff is very noticeable. You prolly built the 1.6 block already tho so eh, no big deal. I’d def. upgrade the cams tho, gsr cams are blah edit: or if u havent bought the turbo yet, got GT30 ---

edit, i do have the itr cams, I forgot that when I bought the cams layzie told me not to get gsr cams but to get the itr cams instead, Its been so damn long that I forgot which ones I have. As far as the tranny goes. I have the stock tranny with a stronger clutch, looking to get a lsd tranny if i can. ---
